I joined AIGA as a sophomore in college. There was no student group, barely even a chapter in Reno/Tahoe. None the less, I joined and immediately saw the benefits.
My favorite part then, was getting the AIGA books in the mail and browsing the book cover design archives. It made me realize how much I wanted to be a designer. I wanted to do that.

I now am an award winning designer under the direction of great people and friends from the Reno/Tahoe chapter. I have made valuable connections with people all over the world and I thank AIGA.
